1996 Buell S1 Lightning review from United States of America
"I'll never get rid of this bike!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Just had to have all the recalls done.
It's a great bike!
General comments?
I love this bike! It's like riding a high powered dirt bike, or better yet, a Sportster on crack! Lots of quick speed. Tons of fun!
